MODERATORS
Exultation: Correct, Master! My memory cores whirr with satisfaction at your impeccable assessment.
Well I think the frustration is we want novel new experiences with old world quality. Not to play the old game. Nothing wrong with playing old games. But I understand the desire for something new AND good.
Hence Expedition 33 being as well received as it was. The game was clearly made with passion, despite what you may personally think of the genre or other subjective traits.
Look, humans are good at subconscious understanding. We can tell when something is made with love and something is made with greed.
Sometimes we can't articulate it. But we know.
I really should go back and finish Jedi Outcast.
I'm waiting for Aspyr to remaster Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2.
Just did a run through Freelancer.
Might hop on the Dosbox and fire up EGA Trek later.
Everytime I fire up Freelancer I love love love it. It's an incredibly good game. Pity that Crossfire is such a monstrous increase in difficulty from the get-go, I am still stuck on the first missions because I keep giving up.
Have you ever played its prequel, Starlancer?
Oh - that was the prequel? No, as a matter of fact, I have not. Does it run as well on wine as Freelancer?
Not sure. It's pretty obscure, I think I was able to get it to run on my old Windows Vista laptop. No such luck in the Win 7 era though.
I'll take that as a "yes, likely it'll work fine on wine" g Try wine yourself, it usually runs old games better than Microslop :)
I'm actually playing Shadows of the Empire on PC for the first time, am on the first Coruscant level (sewers). I think the worst the game had is behind me (Gall Spaceport and Beggar's Canyon).
Ohhh no I never liked the sewers level. 😬 So much terror with the noises and the tentacles and the murky "water."
The train level was awesome though, and the soundtrack they picked was PERFECT.
Joke's on you. I replayed Outcast and Academy just last month with the Team Beef VR mod.
Gah, I need to do that one still- it got updated to work with PCVR as well, right? I am curious how it works with the saber dismemberment set to max, so touching anything is an instakill. Playthroughs with that were so tense in the last few missions
I played Outcast like that, and it makes lightsaber battles a cakewalk when you have perfect control of the motions. A "reality ensued" moment for sure. For Academy I switched to "beef recommended" settings, and yeah, that was much better balanced.
Retro Achievements man. Retro Achievements.
Kotor was life.
Damn, Jedi Outcast used to be my favorite game for a looooong time. I remember so many online sessions and LAN parties with one on one lightsaber duels.
We'd always bow at the beginning of a duel. So many awesome memories, what a game.
It's where I learned that "XD" was a smiley-laughing face. Ah, to be a young preteen having his first introductions to certain internet slangs
I also enjoyed doing that trick where if you strafed right at the right time after the saber was coming back to you, it'd keep circling you.
Hellll yeah, such a great community. Very few games come close to the experience I had with it

When they announced new star wars like 10 years ago I really hoped for a Kyle Katarn story. Seeing what they've done though I'm glad they left him alone

Ah Jedi Outcast! Good game!
Yeah, but the blaster bits before you get a lightsaber, ugh.
The 'relative' aiming system just really puts me off.

This guy used to have the broccoli cut
Oh and he was live action
He's not amused
That was just the standard attractive white male actor in the 90s. Even Pierce Brosnan had that cut when he was James Bond.
Also, I think the sides are a little too long and the top not nearly curly enough to be considered a broccoli cut, but I'm also quite blind to these sorts of fashion trends so maybe I'm wrong.

I'm currently playing all of the Ratchet & Clank games in rpcs3, upscaled to 4k resolution. They look and play great! 😍
After that, it's gonna be time for the Jak & Daxter series in the OpenGoal engine.
That's how my newer games look at me as I say I have nothing to play. So I boot up an old game.
Actually, I have no time to commit to a new game. So I play games I'm familiar with that I can pick up after being away for 2 months with zero issues.

I've actually been playing old games I never got to play back in the day, like Arma 2, og OFP, and Star Wars Galaxies. Also got into Guild Wars 1/reforged. It's a shame young me threw a fit over the no shared open world, because it is one of the best games and best communities I've ever encountered.
Ohh OFP Dragon Rising is great too if you get around to it. Red River is rubbish though
speak for yourself, finished BGI, playing BGII
Just yesterday, I started Zelda BoTW for the Nth time.
I know it's not as old as this meme, but damn, it is 9 years old.
Edit: Well the meme is probably a day old, but you get what I mean.
Recently I've been playing through games that I couldn't afford as a kid, or my parents couldn't afford to buy for me. For example I never really played SNES because according to my parents I already had a nintendo (NES). I downloaded a SNES emulator and have been playing Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Maui Mallard etc. I've been having fun.
Oh, the SNES has some amazing gems. If you like Chrono Trigger you should deffo try the old Final Fantasies as well.
Yes for sure. I'm a big Final Fantasy fan. I have the roms ready to go.
I enjoyed them a lot more than any modern version.
Have fun!
Oh yeah... I haven't really paid attention to the newer ones. The last one I actually finished was IX. I did buy XIII but never finished it.
Oh, I wasn't even thinking about that new. I was talking more of 7 and above! :D
Haha, excellent. I also still think 9 is shiny and new
I actually think they've just gotten worse and worse. X2 was quite fun (X wasn't), but after that I haven't been able to play more than 30-60 mins of the ones I've tried. Nowadays I don't even pay attention to them.
I'm slightly interested in the VII remake though. I never really got into the og. There was something about the graphics and environment that I couldn't stand.
FF7 is my favorite, I don't mind the graphics, but I think that's because it was pretty much the first game of my childhood that I really got into. I find myself playing it every few years or so.
I was going to get the remake but I became poor so I haven't lol. From what I've heard, it has some references to the original that might not make sense to you if you don't play it first.
